Just Keep Smiling

Brandon was accepted to UC Davis, and from what I understand, that's a pretty awesome school. Every time I tell someone that he's going there, their jaws hit the floor. He isn't in the best of situations, and I know that having this under his belt would be amazing for his future, but sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to keep myself sane while he's gone. We talk about it all of the time, and he reassures me that everything will be fine. Be happy, he tells me. But I'm not happy at all with this...I'm overjoyed with him. He's my life. But I'm totally breaking apart because he's leaving (I'm a girl, cut me some slack. I'm emotional about this stuff). I'm so familiar with seeing him every day or any time that I can, and knowing I won't able to do that for months at a time almost scares me. What is he going to do when I'm not there? What are his friends going to be like? Will he find someone who can be there for him more than I can be? All of these stupid thoughts race around my mind constantly, and it's horrible, because I can't be around him without thinking of this stuff, and I hate crying in front of him. We'll lay down and talk, and I'll be all smiley and happy, giddy and hyper, but every single time I look into his eyes, I just feel like crying. I don't want to be without him :'(

Woops!

Hear no evil, speak no evil!
No one really sees this blog, but I always go to blogs and see that everyone starts out slow. So before class starts again today, I guess I'll leave a little update. We had a two hour delay today because of snow...I wish it was all day, but this way I get to see Caitlin and Brandon : ) Speaking of the two most incredible people, Caitlin drove me to school today! She got her parking pass for our school parking lot, and she's surprisingly a good driver! Nah, I knew she would be, but she drove the Mustang and she already crashed that once :p into a yellow McDonalds pole. It's okay, everyone was alright. This is caitlin and no shit im a good driver... (sneakin' on my computer when I'm not looking...) But yes, we got here in one piece.


This is Nate. He is in my class.


Austin and Nate



We bumped heads : )

Photos of the Day

Thanks to Monday through Friday for this picture. It cheers me up to waste my time like this when my teacher leaves the classroom, because it makes me think about my future career situation. I'd love to have a hands-on job where I'm never bored, but sometimes I think about sitting in a cubicle surrounded by funny people who hate their jobs as much as I do. What else is there to do when you're sitting in front of a copy machine that's broken, a computer showing you the blue screen of death, or the coworker who stole your lunch, regardless of the sticky note you put on it? "Katie's lunch <3 :D" Yeah that doesn't matter to Mr. Butterfingers.



Yeah...another thing that entertains me is cute...fluffy...small animals.

Cute!

So I hope that I've made your day a bit better : ) Have a good one!

Another Day in Class

Oh the fun Caitlin and I have in video productions... we play on a program when our teacher isn't in class called Photobooth...one of my favorite things about Mac.

This morning, I had aerobics. It's my first period of the day, and it usually does a good job of ruining my day too. I knew that we had to run the mile, but this morning I thought I'd try to stay positive. It was cold, and Caitlin called me and asked if I had that little bra holder thing...that you slip onto your bra straps to give yourself a little lift? Yeah, well I guess she wanted it back..so she calls me and I ask her for an old pair of sweatpants that I could borrow since we obviously have to run the mile outside on the track. She laughed and told me that she guessed that I'd be getting one of my Christmas presents early. At school, she gave me a beautiful new pair of PINK yoga pants, along with another pair that she didn't wear. I was very happy and also very grateful, for I have an amazing best friend. I ended up beating my previous mile time, with 10:07. After that, we met up again and went to the bathroom to do our make up, because Caitlin insisted that she looked like "crack whore." She didn't though. She looked beautiful. She always looks beautiful. Just look at this face.

Tahoma Life

At my school, I take a class called Video Production, and I'm in the advanced third year class. As stressful as it can be sometimes, I have to say that I'm glad to be here. We just finished doing announcements, which are 28 minute segments for the school's television channel that airs twice each year. I was in charge of the first set, along with my friend Carson, and it was really stressful! Right now, each student is doing a "Tahoma Life" video assignment. In this video, we have to have a no longer than one minute explanation of what it's like to live the life of a Tahomie. Needless to say, I'm a bit behind on this assignment thanks to Thanksgiving break, but thankfully, my teacher extended the deadline (which was originally in one more class). I went out and filmed today, oh, but here's a little bit of daily drama for you:

I bring a salad every day to school for lunch. I went out to the cafeteria before I began filming because my stomach hurt and I needed to eat some food. The cafeteria lady was behind her little salad bar, and I stepped in and politely asked "May I grab a fork?" and I could see them less than 10 feet away. She glanced over at them and then back to me before rudely telling me that I couldn't get a fork, and that she was "sorry." Jerk. All I wanted was a fork.

I Am Thankful...

Today is Thanksgiving : ) and as my dad sits and watches the Dallas Cowboys vs. Saints, I thought I'd talk about a few things that I am thankful for, that aren't so materialistic.

I am thankful for my family. They have helped me become who I am today, and they're the backbone in my life. Without any member of my family - my mom, my dad, or my brother, I'd be so broken. But thank God for them, because I am not broken. I am thankful.

I am thankful for my Caitlin. No one could have a better friend than she is to me, and without her in my life, I'd have no laughter. We've gone through thick and thin together, and even when we're at eachother's throats, we pull through. I am thankful.

I am thankful for my Dmitriy. He can bring me up from my lowest lows, and nothing makes me happier than sitting in his little powder blue geo with his gloves on my little hands, and a panda express meal in my lap. I am thankful.

I am thankful for my boyfriend, Brandon. People don't believe that people as young as myself can really find someone to want to be with, but I have, and I am thankful for that. He brings a smile to my face all of the time, as well as butterflies in my stomach!I am thankful.

I am thankful for my health, my wisdom, and other strengths that God has given me. Sometimes I may feel down and out of touch with myself and others, but I always know that I'll bounce right back if I just keep moving. I am thankful that I have been given this life to live...the love that I was given to share...and the love that I receive. God, I am thankful.

As today ends, if you're reading this, think about what you're thankful for. I hope you've all had a wonderful Thanksgiving : )

A Poor Introduction

This is me, and my name is Kailei. I'm currently living in Washington State in a tiny little town. I'm honestly not good at telling people about myself, because I'm always changing. There are the basics, like being a girl and liking the color pink and having a BFF that does everything with me, there isn't much that I can say! I believe in God. I love all that I can, and while I do occasionally get irritated and say naughty things that I shouldn't, that's life : ) and I try to be the best person that I can be.

Let's introduce some of the main characters in the play that I like to call "Life!"

This is Caitlin. She's my sister, my best friend, and my wife.

This is Dmitriy, and he's the bees knees. He's also my wife.


My amazing brother, Rush. He's my favorite brother : )


This is my dad, who I thank for making me a dreamer, and giving me sort of a mustache because he's Italian.


This is my mom, who I thank for my shockingly good looks and large feet.


And this is Brandon, my amazing boyfriend.


I'm not sure what I'll keep this blog for...maybe it will turn into a daily thing where I can journal all of my events, or maybe I'll just forget about it. We'll see.
